how many places do YOU post your books? - hellostarshinepub - 07-29-2025
i'm in the midst of code monkeying right now, and i'm wondering just how many buy links people need! so, let me know. how many places do YOU buy YOUR books when you put them online to buy/get?
you're also free to reply with places you put them, if you'd like, though that's less important.
ETA: Please consider all D2D/B2R as ONE place.

the places i sell my books vs the places i buy ebooks are a different number--i just got all of my stuff set up relatively wide via D2D (10k+ is wide, <10k is on my payhip), so i'd say 5+, but i buy ebooks almost exclusively from amaz0n and direct (was itch.io, now a lot of payhip stores), so 2

so in that case a lot of your distribution would be available through ONE link, D2R?

I sell my books through Amazon and D2D mostly now that Itch is out. D2D takes care of a lot of the platforms like B&N, Smashwords, Apple, Scribd, and library apps. Thinking about setting up a payhip so there's another direct way to purchase books from me

So two links total, since anything through D2D would have B2R link?

So I upload directly to Amazon and Kobo (easy enough and better control/royalties—though Kobo has a higher payout threshold than other sites) as well as D2D for everything else and then Payhip. So technically it’s four places, but I manually add my Amazon and Kobo links to my B2R, so end up with two links still

All of mine are only on amazon and KU for now. I upload them via KDP dashboard manually. I then create a unique link for each of them (mybook.to/bookname).

So glad to see this space was created and the event moved here!
As for buy links, I use one link, B2R, and manually add any links to that B2R that aren't connected to it automatically. I may do a direct buy in the future that can't be connected to B2R, but that's another thing.
